Constitutive-law Modeling of Microfilaments from their Discrete-Structure Simulations - A Method based on an Inverse Approach Applied to a Static Rod Model [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 Twisting and bending deformations are crucial to the biological functions of microfilaments such as DNA molecules. Although continuum-rod models have emerged as efficient tools to describe the nonlinear dynamics of these deformations, a major roadblock in the continuum-mechanics-based description of microfilaments is the accurate modeling of the ...

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1334-1350, June 2025.Abstract The dynamics of land use conflicts have recently received increasing interest in the scholarly debate; however, research thus far has focussed on the causes of different conflict dynamics. In contrast, this paper starts from the assumption that knowledge of the processes by which certain conditions trigger escalation is important for improved ...

Dense granular flows: interpolating between grain inertia and fluid viscosity based constitutive laws [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 A scalar constitutive law was recently obtained for dense granular flows from a two-grain argument, both in the inertial regime (grain inertia) and in the viscous regime. As the resulting law is not exactly the same in both regimes, we here provide an expression for the crossover between both regimes.
